    US President Signs Bill Into Law Requiring FCC To Ban Further Authorizations of Dahua and Hikvision

    Agreed. You did. And in the context of your previous limited appearance pertaining to the IPVM report on this same topic, as I said - it struck me as chest-thumping. It still does.

    US President Signs Bill Into Law Requiring FCC To Ban Further Authorizations of Dahua and Hikvision

    My exposure to your posts is limited, but this one struck me as a bit of chest-thumping for whatever part you and your organization played in bringing this legislation about. If so, that is rather boorish.

    how do you isolate cameras from the inetent?

    Are you using a dedicated firewall? My plan is to do something similar to what you have done. I have already removed the unmanaged switches from the network and replaced them with a managed POE switch (Aruba S2500) plus added a couple of WAPs. But my Netgear router is still performing double...

    how do you isolate cameras from the inetent?

    I guess this is router dependent? I don't see that option in my current router (Netgear Nighthawk), but I do have the option to Block Services to specific IP's. In my case, I put all the cameras into a block of IPs from 110 to 130. When setting a static IP the router does record the MAC address...

    City of Phoenix Plans 48 Cameras .... $2 Million

    Saw this local news story about the City of Phoenix Police Department request for a $2 Million approval for replacement of 33 outdated security cameras and installation of 15 new wireless cameras in the downtown Phoenix area. Justification is crowd control for the upcoming Super Bowl in 2023...

    DeepStack Temp files growing / not being deleted in the DeepStack Temp folder

    I found it - thanks to you posting BI's response to this issue. In my case those temp files are in directory C:\DeepStack\redis - which is what BI had shown in their response to you. And thanks too, for the reference to those tools. Downloading them now ....

    DeepStack Temp files growing / not being deleted in the DeepStack Temp folder

    Tagging this thread as I've been battling unexpected C:/ growth for quite some time. I checked both directories mentioned in this thread and the growth isn't coming from those directories. This machine is only used for BI and OpenALPR. The runaway growth is somewhere, but I am still trying to...

    PoE Extender - 2 Cameras on 1 Cable

    I believe that 8w max output is for the Camera port. The port described as "Out" should be able to deliver 16w max. Still, the combination of the 2 ports is only 24w, plus the 3w consumed by the splitter, it means more than half of the power supplied by the PFT1200 is wasted for this use case.

    PoE Extender - 2 Cameras on 1 Cable

    You are slightly exceeding the threshold of what the specs say the PFT1300 will support. In fact, the datasheet for the Dahua/Loryta model (PDF attached) doesn't explicitly state this, but the Amazon ad for the Linovision version...

    Mesh vs APs

    I saw this YouTube video the other day about a guy abandoning Ubiquiti in favor of Ruckus .... Since then I picked up a few of the Ruckus Unleashed APs and have been incorporating them into my system. To this point I am really happy with them. Might be worth considering.

    Cable Diagnostic Question

    Yes, it's connected to a camera. I can re-run, with the expectation it should then show OPEN for the first 2 pairs. Seems really odd that the fault distance for the OPEN pair would be different, and shorter, than for the SHORTED pair. I didn't measure the cable when installing, but 6 meters...

    Cable Diagnostic Question

    Recently upgraded my POE switch to a fully managed Aruba 2500. Now I have a ton of bells and whistles to play with, one of them being cable diagnostics with TDR (Time-Domain Reflectometer). One of my cable runs to a camera produced this result: Interface name : gigabitethernet0/0/12...

    Hell Yeah! Direct Deepstack Integration - 5.4.0 - March 31, 2021

    I don't recall exactly, but I think it was the 960 and lower models which don't have the necessary processing power to support DeepStack. Maybe do a search of the forum here for that card and see what it turns up.

    Anyone install their PoE switch outdoors?

    In my case, I have a carport separate from the house, but it does have power to the carport. I had a cable run to the carport to power a single camera, but recently decided to expand that and re-purpose that cable to provide data to a 4-port POE switch. That POE switch is currently powering 2...

    Hell Yeah! Direct Deepstack Integration - 5.4.0 - March 31, 2021

    AND ... I strongly suspect the T4 would be massive overkill for our purposes. I am betting (hoping) that P4 is going to be an excellent balance between price, performance and efficiency. The P4 is in the same overall performance category as the 1060, but it has more cores, more memory, and uses...

    You might want to wait for @IReallyLikePizza2 to receive his nVidia Tesla P4 and report back if it works well with DS (or not). As I understand it, the Tesla cards are aimed at applications, like DeepStack and OpenALPR, which are heavy on AI processing. I read a recent article showing AI...

    DeepStack Case Study: Performance from CPU to GPU version

    All the prices I found on Amazon were very high, so I went to Ebay. There I found a new 1060 card for $300. Price is now dropped to $260 ... found here --> New nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Gaming Graphics Video Card Desktop PC HDMI DVI | eBay.

    DeepStack Case Study: Performance from CPU to GPU version

    It was @sebastiantombs who first pointed me in the direction of the 1060 card as having a good balance between performance and efficiency. I found a 1060 w/3mb card new on Ebay for right at $300. More recently @IReallyLikePizza2 found a Tesla 4 for about that same price. Specs on the Tesla 4...

    Dahua SD49225XA-HNR Auto Tracking Enabled Firmware.

    Part of the reason for my question is my PTZ has this annoying habit of detecting motion and then looking skyward (for inspiration??) and then looking back down to earth to lock on for tracking. I've noticed this more on those Presets where I used Intrusion Zones, so I have been changing mine...

    Dahua SD49225XA-HNR Auto Tracking Enabled Firmware.

    Why Intrusion Box over Tripwire? I may be getting confused, but wasn't there a recent thread where @Wildcat_1 indicated Tripwires were generally better for this PTZ?

    Enterprise Switch Setup ?

    I did, indeed, have to do several basic configuration steps using CLI and then save to the switch's flash memory. As best I can tell, the only way I could have access to the web GUI was to enable DHCP to have an IP assigned. Now that I'm in the GUI it seems I have many more controls, but that...

    Enterprise Switch Setup ?

    Well, I certainly feel like I qualify in the 'stupid' category after this experience. BUT ... I did manage to get into the switch via CLI and now via the web admin page. And I now know enough to be dangerous .... :) Thanks once again to all who helped. I sincerely appreciate it.

    Enterprise Switch Setup ?

    Well, I am still unable to get into the web admin page on the switch. My router assigns IPs in the 192.168.1.XXX range. Even after the configuration mentioned above, when I plug the switch into the router, it does not appear among the wired connections. Correction ... I went back into the CLI...

    Enterprise Switch Setup ?

    I'm confused by your comment in the emboldened text. In CLI, I was able to set the startup configuration for vlan 1 to look for DHCP assignment. As I understand it, now when I plug it into the router the switch will poll for an IP assignment. Once assigned, I can get into the web page for...
